Celemony's Melodyne 4 Studio continues the legacy of the Melodyne software with enhancements to make your workflow even faster and more accurate. What is Melodyne? It is an application for OS X and Windows that allows you to edit audio in a more musical way by working with notes instead of a wave form. This means that you don't just see where the music gets louder or quieter, but also where notes begin and end and at what pitch they lie. You can modify each note and directly influence the intonation, phrasing, and dynamics, and this can be done not only with vocals and monophonic instruments, but with polyphonic instruments such as piano and guitar. Working with Melodyne is like being able to ask a vocalist to "sing this note a bit longer" or to a pianist "give slightly less weight to the third in this chord" – hours, weeks, or even years after the session.

Version 4 of Melodyne offers one of the most extensive updates in Celemony's history. Highlights include the Sound Editor with its totally new sound design possibilities, DNA Direct Note Access on an unlimited number of tracks, and ultra-accurate tempo detection.

Create Soundscapes with the Sound EditorWith the Sound Editor in Melodyne 4 Studio, you can edit the sound of your recordings – just like your music – in a more musical, detailed and inspiring way. From the subtle enhancement of envelopes and timbres to the manipulation of overtones, resynthesis and radical experiments in sound design.

Melodyne recognizes the notes and their overtones – also a decisive advantage when it comes to sound processing. While conventional equalizers only act upon fixed frequencies, Melodyne adapts to the audio material itself. Adjust the level of individual overtones within each track, shape the basic sound of each instrument, relate the timbre or envelope of each note to its pitch, bring out the character of each sound source.

The results are novel acoustically, often unique, invariably invigorating – yet the Sound Editor is intuitive and lends itself easily to creative use.

Multitrack Note EditingWith Melodyne 4 Studio, you can work on an unlimited number of tracks – even with DNA Direct Note Access for polyphonic material.

Multitrack editing has one very important advantage: you can see and edit the notes of as many tracks as you like simultaneously. The harmonies, melodies and rhythms of your project can all be viewed in context. And you can reach into this plastic image of the music, select notes and modify them, regardless of which tracks they belong to.

This works not only in stand-alone mode but also in the plug-in. On all DAW tracks with the Melodyne 4 studio plug-in inserted. Never before has the musical interplay of multiple tracks been as readily observed or intuitively edited.

Tempo IntelligenceMelodyne 4’s new tempo algorithms detect tempos, time signatures and any changes in tempo more accurately than ever before.

Melodyne 4 tracks precisely the tempo of a live recording, with all its human inconstancy. The ensuing click keeps time with the musicians, not the other way around. And still, you enjoy all the practical benefits of a beat-based grid when working in your DAW.

Furthermore, you can curb excessive wandering in tempo without ironing-out the minor fluctuations that lend charm to a live performance. You can also synchronize recordings with quite different tempos or variations in tempo.

Moreover, you can edit the note detection in far greater detail and therefore manage complex material still more effectively. So you can work even more closely and precisely on your music and obtain still higher sound quality from your editing.

Time-Stretching for Entire MixesThe Universal Algorithm in Melodyne is ideally suited to the time-stretching and pitch-shifting of entire mixes.

The algorithm also delivers outstanding results with polyphonic material provided no access to individual notes is required. With its exceptional sound quality and modest CPU demands, ‘Universal’ is an invaluable addition to Melodyne’s array of algorithms.

Elegant, User-Friendly, and ModernWith its variably configurable, single-window interface, you can adapt Melodyne perfectly to your own preferences and working requirements. What’s more, the new browsers and inspectors afford a better overview and direct access to all important parameters.

Beneath the surface, state-of-the-art software technology is at work – optimized for the latest operating systems, fully compatible with both 32- and 64-bit environments.
